All fine and good when there's no clean-up to be done. However, if you're in an error handler after opening a database connection, creating a temp file, and allocating a block of shared memory, now you've just leaked resources all over the place by skipping all the clean-up. Or you have to duplicate all that clean-up in this and every subsequent error handler within the function.

Comment Re:Avoiding versus evading (Score 1) 129

That's what I always thought but here in New Zealand, avoiding tax is also illegal. Any mechanism designed solely to reduce one's legal tax liability is considered to be unlawful avoidance of tax and punishable as such.

Don't you love the way that governments put the collection of taxes above all else -- giving the IRS and their equivalent more power than any other arm of the state.

Nope. You really should learn to understand what you link to and learn how to look up basic facts.

1969 average salary: ~8600 adj. for inflation in 2014: ~55K

2014 average teacher pay: $56,383

From your link you didn't seem to understand:
" Instruction expenditures include salaries and benefits of teachers and teaching assistants as well as costs for instructional materials and instructional services provided under contract."

Look, you really need to stop looking at a graph and assume it proves your point because the bars are higher. YOu need to start UNDERSTANDING your links and what they say. You really look like a moron. I don't think you are a moron, I just think you haven't bothered to train yourself to think things through.

"Free market capitalism builds competition for the sake of the consumer/client/user and it pushes prices down and you will not find teachers who would agree to that type of competition."
nope.

I suggewst you read some fucking history.
What would happen would pretty much parrelly what privatization of the p[rison system has done.

Profit:
Get kids out as fast as you can from low income areas.
Fail kids you know you can charge more for next year
Put 100 students in a class room.

WHat you, and fucktead of your thinking, fail to do is look where the berst schools are. Best school being areas with the highest level of education when kids graduate.

It's not free market areas.

Everybody should be forced to learn about corporate history before have to even mention the free market. SOMething even Smith said wouldn't work in practice.

Twads.

As a rule, it's almost impossible to determine 'bad teacher'. I say almost impossible but no one has been able to come up with a way to determine that.
Yes, some are obvious, but those are tiny amount of teachers.

Teacher do not need to get paid more i most places. Those funds need to go to getting more school and more teachers. Cut their workload in half.

But thats cost money and taxes and people ahve becoime fucking morons regarding taxes.

If it were up to me, I would put a 1 cent a Kw tax on electricity. Just for new schools and more teachers. Thats 40 billion a year, BTW.
